Legion of Mary

Auxiliary Function

St. Michael’s active members of the Legion of Mary are inviting all our auxiliary members for a group prayers and brunch on:

November 16, 2024, following the 7:30 a.m. Mass in the Parish Center.

This is the opportunity to meet and know our praying partners. Auxiliaries are a vital part of the Legion. St. Louis de Montfort said, “Auxiliaries are to the Legion what wings are to the bird”. These wings, widely expanded by Auxiliaries through their faithful daily prayers, make it possible for the Active Legion members to carry out their mission of doing the apostolic work for Our Lady.

We hope you will join us on Saturday, November 16.

Who We Are

The Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church. It is a worldwide organization of men and women who wish to grow in holiness and live out their baptismal call to spread the Reign of Christ. The main purpose of the Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members.

Two Forms of Membership:

Active Members --those who attend the 1 1/2 hour meeting and perform two hours of apostolic work each week

Auxiliary members -- those unable to attend a weekly meeting or participate in apostolic works, these members commit to praying daily for the intentions of Our Blessed Mother, bringing vital graces to the works of the Legion.

What Do We Do?

Active legionaries balance prayer with apostolic work, performed in union with Mary, Mother of the Church. We assist our pastor in ministering to the Mystical Body of Christ by performing various acts of service, including: visiting the sick and homebound, conducting Communion Services in nursing homes and hospitals, detention ministry, teaching religious education, and distributing Catholic literature through book-barrow and Enthronement of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart of Mary in homes. Each week, pairs of legionaries will be assigned to do two hours of apostolic work.

When Do We Meet?

Active members meet once a week for prayers, planning and discussion and share reports on work done from the previous week's assignment. Assignments are given at the meeting.

Mary, the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Praesidium (evening group) meets at 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays.
